    now classified by centerpiece

    they make me so proud, you know bridemaids helped me too!!

    purple gerberas 71 pieces, white roses 60, hydrangeas  136 smal bouquets of 7 each, lilac 161, small cherrys 153 and fushia tulips 88, plus another 42 puprple center and 14 clowny style. you do the math.

    My Paper Flower Garden :  wedding Wrose

    My Paper Flower Garden :  wedding Hyd

    My Paper Flower Garden :  wedding Llila

    My Paper Flower Garden :  wedding Cherry

    My Paper Flower Garden :  wedding Tulip

    My Paper Flower Garden :  wedding Degrad

    I'm not counting the green stuff. =D All these flowers are just for 25 centerpieces, I still have other projects and just 2 months till the wedding.

    Some people told me that I should start my own bussiness. Ja ja, I told them maybe after the wedding.  Does any one have started a bussiness after a DIY wedding project?

    Wow!! GORGEOUS!  I didn't even recognize them as not being real flowers in the first photo.  LOTS of hard work & I'm sure that will be noticed by your guests!  Amazing! Can't believe it!

    OMG! Those flowers are amazing!!!!  Please share pictures of what they looked like put together for your centerpieces.  I also wouldn't mind you telling us how to make these beauties.  Did you find them to be significantly cheaper than real flowers?  Would a crafty novice like myself be able to make them look half as good?

    wow!  These look so. awesome.  Nice job!  I thought about doing paper flowers for bouquets, but after I did one bunch, I was pooped, and convinced to go with real ones.  Good for you for keeping with it! 

    And yes, I think that people have started business' doing stuff like this -they're all over etsy.  That's a good way to get into something like this.  I'd totally buy them.  Smile

    I love these, they look great!!! Just curious if you save $ by doing this verses artificial flowers? Do any of you bees look at different wedding decor and wished you chose something other then what you did? I'm having this problem, it's my daughters wedding and I like what she chose, but I see so many other ideas out there. Guess I'm going to have to have alot of family/friend parties so I can use some of these ideas.

    These are awesome! I'm impressed you made so many. I could never do it, but I'll check out your tutorials for a centerpiece for my table at my house. One vasefull is about all I think I can handle.

    Wow, I'm blown away by these! I am going to look for the tutorials in DIY! I don't hink you could make $ as a business because they seem to be very labor intensive but you reallly have a talent.
